welcome to this new area for chess

[stog]

welcome to this new area. the daddy of em all perhaps. i was taught backgammon by a grandmaster who used to "read" the great matches in the bog . i last played a gnu chess beast but got to cheating too often with the undo button. any recommendations for us casual players as well as the serious punter?

wow i never knew there was a FICS!
bit of a bummer if you get dropped after many hours though with your queen about to savage her cruel way .....!
